Initiated in 2022, the Vienna Process unites anti-Taliban forces—including women’s movements, civil society, and media representatives—to build a sustainable political future for Afghanistan. With its Afghan-led and Afghan-owned approach, the Process offers a framework for inclusive dialogue aimed at reshaping the country’s political landscape, free from fear and terror.

During the fourth day of the Vienna Process for a Democratic Afghanistan, held from June 24 to 26, 2024, in Vienna, key discussions focused on the integration of democratic principles into the future governance of Afghanistan. Opposition leader Ahmad Massoud emphasized the critical need to unify the country, explicitly advocating for the inclusion of women’s voices in the political process.

Massoud and other leaders deliberated on mechanisms to ensure that a future Afghan government would not only be democratically elected but also inclusive and representative of all segments of Afghan society. This includes women, who have been significantly marginalized under Taliban rule. The conference highlighted the importance of creating a political environment where women can actively participate and lead.

Strategies discussed involved educational reforms, legal protections for women’s rights, and economic initiatives to empower women economically and politically. The overarching theme was clear: for Afghanistan to thrive democratically, it must engage all its citizens in the governance process, truly reflecting the diversity of its population.

During the tightly secured and scarcely publicized fourth gathering in Vienna, nearly 70 Afghan opposition members, former governors, and activists convened to deliberate on the prospects for a democratic Afghanistan. The Vienna Process has emerged as a vital platform for Afghan opposition worldwide, regularly facilitating discussions aimed at fostering an intra-Afghan dialogue based on democratic principles.

The participants, including high-profile figures such as Ahmad Massoud and former foreign minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta, explored strategies for establishing a government legitimized through elections, stressing the need for an inclusive, pluralistic approach that might, eventually, integrate politically inclined Taliban members. However, the overriding consensus was that any decisions on governance should be determined by the Afghan populace.

Two years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban’s hold on the country remains tenuous. Internal tensions within the Taliban, especially between the Haqqani network and the Kandahar leadership, threaten to destabilize their control. Despite this fragility, the international community has been slow to support an effective opposition to Taliban rule, which could prevent Afghanistan from descending into chaos.

The Vienna Process has held multiple conferences and established a working group to form a “single national umbrella organization” against the Taliban. This effort, backed by private foundations and without government involvement, aims to create a coherent opposition platform. This report was published in Chatham House.
